I agree, HotMess.  I watched this on FB this morning, and was hoping he would teach his daughter a more valuable lesson.  Wouldn't donating the computer to a hard-working student teach her more than destroying a perfectly good laptop?  I was also confused by him holding a lit cigarette... as I didn't notice him take a single drag.  Was this a prop?  And if so, what purpose did it serve?  As a parent and teacher, I don't see how humiliating a child will teach them to stop humiliating others.  It reminds me of the parent spanking the child, all the time yelling, "I told you not to hit!"

I was O.K. with him until he pulled out the handgun. Now I wonder how much more there is to this story.

I agree with John D. A simple answer will encourage and reward curiosity. Another great response is "What do YOU think the answer is?"

My 5 year old yells out - mum I know where my shoes are, but I just haven't found them yet - he is very creative about aiming to avoid being told off..... :)

"Daaaaddyyyyy," my four and a half year old son yelled from his bedroom. I get out of bed to go check on him. It is 9:45 and he has been in bed for 30 minutes.
"You wanna know something terreeble? "
"What is it buddy?"
"Will I die?"
I lay down next to Jake and put my arm around him, "Probably."
"But I don't want to."
"I don't want you to either."
"But I don't want to."
"I love you so much and I'm so happy to be with you"
"You were supposed to open my door when you go to sleep."
"Okay, I'll open it now. Are you ok?"
"Yeah."
"Good night buddy, I love you."
"Good Night."
